Australia’s first investigative history podcast, History Lab is returning for a second season.

The podcast takes you into archives and documents the making of history from the discovery of first person accounts, the evaluation of sources and the unfurling of narrative.

In season two, History Lab is delving into broad subjects, Australia’s first bank deposit, the sex industry, the dying craft of industrial pattern making and the creation of nation.

On this final episode of GLAMcity, we get a first listen to some of the characters you’ll hear in History Lab’s second season. We go behind the scenes with Executive Producer Tom Allinson and Producer Jason L’Ecuyer with our GLAM presenters, Tamson Pietsch and Anna Clark.
